Aother ice… thing. Photographed at the lake, below the ice that covered the lake. Done with the lens Helios 44-3 (58mm/2) on Caon EOS 350D.

I renewed my Flickr account today to Pro. I use Flickr and Ipernity, so I use double webservice image storage/communities. I like Ipernity where also are a translator to my language, but many of my old images are linked from my websites to Flickr since I have used their pro-account for a few years. A later image is this leaf with drops, photographed with the lens Asahi Super-Takumar 85mm/1.9 on my Canon.

This time of year the flower is a motif easy to get stuck on. There are so many, so nice with bokeh. We miss them during the winter in Sweden. Then comes the autumn and a lot of images show autumn leafs ;) Well, here are some more flowers I portraied in the City park in Örebro. They are made with Helios 44-3 and S-M-C Takumar 55mm/1.8 lenses and Canon EOS 350D (and a M42->EOS adapter of course). Guess which is which?

October 1st has been announced as a international film buying day. There is a group on Flickr created by Chris Bloom, that you can join. Heres a quote from the statement:

“I ask all who enjoy shooting on film to go out on the same day, October 1, and buy a roll (or rolls or sheets for that matter!) of film. I’m sure the sudden spike in film sales would be noticed [...]”

A noble task indeed!

I have read in several places now that Kodachrome production will end. I thought this was old news, but I might be suffering from deja vu. Sad, surely, but I have to admit I never actually used it. But that’s true for many old things which I love, I use them today instead. If you wan’t to read more there’s a thread on MFlenses, feel free to give more source in the comments.

I’ve created a collection on Flickr where I add sets for each camera or lens I test. Welcome to follow it ofcourse, but it would be nice if you link to your Flickr test sets or collections on Flickr. If you give me a link in the comments I will add it in this post :)
